Re: I QUIT SMOKING , YOU CAN TOO. I QUIT SEPT 27, 2012, SUPPORT EACH OTHER HERE

Quit 17 sept 2012, used champix. This was my third serious attempt. Haven't touched one since. I have a new lease on life. My dreams are returning. I have so much more time on my hands. I can have sex for A LOT longer. I can laugh loudly or sing without coughing. My skin is looking GREAT. I can smell things I haven't smelt for years.

My partner still smokes, I can taste it in the air. It gives me no desire to smoke. I really don't want to.

I am a reformed smoker.

You can do it too.

And if at first you don't succeed, please, please, try, try and try again.

Grumps! Great to hear from you. It seems things are going well on your end.

Exciting news about the foreign exchange student you guys took in. If I recall correctly, you said his name was Yuri and that he was from St. Petersberg. The kid's a long way from home, but between his first year of college, and the experience of staying with you, I'm sure he won't be homesick long. On another note, don't be too hard on yourself, you'll get that beet and potato soup dish down and perfected in no time. Sorry to hear he had to leave that girl Tatyanna behind in St. Petersberg (and eight months pregnant to boot, wow!). Don't even think of paying for her to come over, Grumps. You old softy, you. And, no, I don't think I'd be too worried about him shaving his head and wearing red Doc Martin boots (although, why he'd call the boots his 'Paki Bashers' escapes me). You know kids. Just exploring the boundries.

Things are good on this end. Day 80 for me today. Yeah, buddy!

Just wanted you to know how much you helped me in reaching this mark.

Keep those cards and letters coming. They mean much. Until then, I'm glad this finds you well and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Oh, and I wouldn't be too concerned about Yuri muttering what you believe sounds like, "Capitalist Swine I will cut you" under his breath. I'm sure it's just tied to jet lag and getting acclimated.

Welcome to all new comers and thank you!!!

Each time someone new posts about quitting my own resolve seems to strengthen from the pure joy of reading your posts!

And thank you to all who have been here since I first showed up right before January 1st - 2013! I have felt so very supported, with compassion and caring - who says you can't feel LOVE on the internet!

Hey Grumps - if your reading this, I think of you when I come and post, I hope you are staying strong and doling well.

Thank you DF for starting us off - I hope your healing journey is becoming one of less pain and difficulties. Prayers also for your mother in law.

Thanks one love. Both of us are better. Mother in law may be able to leave rehab in a week or so an for now I have passed the stone. Others to be removed at a later date, and on medication for blood clot in arm they say will dissolve in time. Continue the path you are on, and thanks for encouraging others here. DF

Thanks for taking the time to post that link. Swedish Snus has truly turned my addiction for tobacco more into an enjoyment than a hindrance. Its not something that I can describe, and it probably isn't for everyone. I just know I enjoy it, and I don't smoke anymore.
